The Kennard House was built in 1869 by John Keys Winchell and is the oldest standing building in Lincoln, Nebraska. Kennard is one of the five oldest homes in Lincoln, Nebraska and now serves as Nebraska’s Statehood Museum.  Berggren Architects began working on the Kennard House in 2014 with the reconstruction of the rear porch. In 2015, gutter reconstruction and the relocation of the flagpole was completed. In 2016, Berggren Architects began the restoration of the front porches; the porch roof; and the balustrades capping the porch, the bay windows, and the widow’s walk surrounding the cupola. The latest project was completed in 2018. The front porch had previously been restored, also by Berggren Architects, in 1982.
